MARLINESPIKE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 16, 1917.

Application filed August 18, 1916. Serial No. 115,735.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I CASSIUS Gr. HALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Adams Center, in the county of Jefferson and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Marlinespike, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this marlinespike is to facilitate untying knots, unbuckling straps, and the doing of things for which a marlinespike is useful.

Figure 1, of the drawings shows a lateral View of this marlinespike. Fig. 2 shows a taper from the thicker edge to the thinner (1 to 2), and Fig. 8, the taper of the thicker edge to the point (4).

The marlinespike tapers from the wider end (1 to 2) to the points on the scallops (3 to 4) in line lengthwise of the marlinespike. The aforesaid marlinespike is made of one piece of (suitable) material, tapering to a point from its extreme Wider end and thicker edge, also tapering to the said point on the thinner edge, two thirds the length of which is scalloped, Fig. 1, 3 to 4.

I claim:

A marlinespike thinner on one lateral edge than on the other, and tapered two-thirds of its length to a point, the tapered portion being scalloped and the scallops, except the one at the point, decreasing in size toward the point.
